earlier, we played the clip about where he praised jeremiah wright. and now the difference of the response of hurricane katrina to hurricane andrew. >> down in new orleans, there is a federal law called the stafford act. the local government has to give a match. here is the thing. when 9/11 happened in new york city, they waved the stafford act. forget that dollar you have to put in. here is $10. and that was the right thing to do. when hurricane andrew struck in florida, they said look at this devastation, don't expect you to put that money in. what's happening in new orleans? where is your dollar, where is your stafford act money? makes no sense. tells me the but let hasn't been taken out. tells me that somehow the people in new orleans, they don't care about as much. >> president obama, that was five years ago. decide for yourself whether this shows a side of barack obama never been seen before as the daily caller suggestsor nothing new. the president seems to be speaking at a difference cadence and a different kind of voice than he does in other s

this is something more than sean hannity's infactuation with reverend jeremiah wright. >> roy watkins, is there significanceo this, do you believe? >> i think there's no material significance here, but the republicans are very good at taking nothing and turning it into what appears to be something. we have to remember we live in a country that has forever been poise upped by the psychological disease of racism. and it doesn't take much to spark that back up. if you look at what president obama is saying, of course white politicians wouldn't say what he's saying because african-americans have a unique history in this country. we have a history of documented discrimination that is, in fact, undeniable. so when you look at what happened to katrina, anybody in their right mind would say, yes, there's some disparity there and any president, white or black, should note the disparity, not as a criticism on the greatness of america but really as an opportunity for our country to get a little bit better. >> i don't think that's what president obama was doing. >> go ahead, erick. >> he's tellin

. >> please everybody give welcome to my pastor -- >> in 2007 nobody knew who jeremiah wright was. it didn't set off any alarm bells. in 2008 when some of his anti-american sermons became public, that was a big media story. >> howard kurt says overall it is interesting to hear what obama said in that 2007 speech but that his language was not inflammatory enough to make it into a big story. he says this was not a mainstream media cover-up. we tried repeatedly to get fox news channel and sean hannity to respond to our findings on the media coverage of the obama speech. we've not heard back yet, wolf. >> i remember when we covered that speech five years ago. now, you know there are some out there who are immediately accusing the romney campaign of effectively being behind this decision to go ahead and publicize once again what happened five years ago. >> it's been on twitter and a lot of social media, but the romney campaign has sent us a statement saying it had nothing to do with the new reporting on the obama speech. so far we found no evidence that it had anything to do with it. >>
